Live comments

  • 0' - In just a few seconds Ahmed bin Ali Stadium will turn into a battlefield for Japan and Costa Rica.
  • 5' - It looks surprising Costa Rica does not make any changes. Francisco Calvo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 15' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Bryan Oviedo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' - Shuichi Gonda needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 25' - Japan started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
  • 30' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Costa Rica winning 100% of all matches.

  • 46' - Takuma Asano has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ayase Ueda on 46 minute.
  • 51' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 56' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
